ATPLIUATION FILED JUNE 7, 1912.

, Be 't known that I, J OHN PAoELIiI, a citi To all whom co h cerai zenof the'United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, inthecityand State of New York, have inventeda jnew and useful Improvement inShoe-Lasts, of which the following is'a specification:

My inventlon relates, to an improvement; in shoe lasts and more:particularly to the construction of the heel wherea coiisiderablex 1amount of pounding and hammering takes place in affixingthe heel of theshoe to the sole, or when burnishingfetc the same.

The'object of m invention is 'to provide" a'shoe last that W111withstand this poundmg without cracking onsplitting, at the same timerelieving, the Blast supporting thimble-frorn the shock of the blow. yA- practical: embodiment of my .invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 represents a plan view of ashoe last with the heel plate partlybroken: away, and Fig. 2 represents a side elevation-of the same, partlyin section. .7

The hoe last,which is of the usual form,

is provided witha socket 4 for the reception of a last supportingthimble 4* which is of usual construction and well known in the -Theheelfportion 2" is provided with cavity 5 in which is placed aslightlyre-j silient material 6, such, for. instance, (as a leather, felt,vfiber,hardrubloer or any sub-"1 Stance thavhasa slightdegree ofresiliency.

In the present instance I have shownthemashown at 7. It will beunderstoodthat while I have showntwo layers cemented together,

I may use. only one piece cementedin the cavity, or several layers maybeused with or without cement In using the resilient com position-betweenthe layers or inthe cavity,

I find it advantageous touse a harderuand less resilient material thanwhen there is no position will afford of itselffa very consider-' abledegree of resiliency. jIn marl may "employ material of such' hardness astobe practically non-resilient in combination with the resilientadhesive]; comp sition,

y I 'l lo icov er protect the cavity and ma terlal, a heel plate 8 ofmetal or other de-' sired material may be provided, which plate may besecured to the heel by "means of screws 9.; The heel plate 8 may also beprovided with a hole 10, through which the lasting tacks are driven.Thus it will be ,seen' that-with myimprovedshoe last, any amount ofpounding or hammering given to the heel willbeabsorbed by the resilientmaterial 6 in the cavity 5, thereby relievin the shoe last of all shockor jar that woul andresilientmaterial 6 may be made larger or smalleraccording to the size .ofthe last,
